    I would be independently wealthy and be an interpreter for the hearing
    impaired and my specialty would be interpreting music......

        I would be very happy if I could be paid what I am now as a
    software engineer, yet be a research librarian.

    I'd be a freelance artist, a veteranarian, a professional 
    "world traveler", a politician, and/or a psychologist

    A professional singer or an attorney specializing in criminal law.
    
    If I can't have either of those, I'll settle for living in a cabin

    	A Beach Critic. Just as there are movie critics, restaurant

    for travel agencies, commerce departments, magazines etc. 8^)
    
    	Oh, you mean seriously? I think I would like to be a religious

    and learn about the peoples religious beliefs, how they originated,
    and how the people implement them in their lives.

    Jim

    I'd like to teach other people to do some of the things I love:
    Gardening, needlework, weight training, maybe cooking, and a
    host of other things.  I'd like to combine this with psych, as
    a sort of physical/mental therapy.  There are so many people in
    this society who are stressed out - I would like to help some
    of them find satisfaction in doing one of these things, as a
    springboard to finding satisfaction in the rest of their lives.
    
    Now, if they paid therapy/social work people enough to live on....
    
    --Louise

    I would LOVE to go back into what I was doing before DEC, and that
    is to be a Communications Therapist for mentally retarded/emotionally
    disturbed children/adults.  I did this when I graduated college,
    and had to get out of it due to the fact that I was coming home
    with $162.47 a week...wish I could have lived on that kind of $,
    but...we all know that story.
    
    But I was truely happy doing therapy, and would love to do it again.
     I actually felt that I was doing some good for some less fortunate
    than I.....and as my mother always says....."There by the grace
    of God go I"...

    re: .20
    
    Where *were* you when we were looking for a lead vocalist (one
    of my dreams for this band is to do "A Nightengale Sang in
    Berkeley Square").
    
    
    re: the original question
    
    I consider myself to be truly blessed; I've been my dream (performing
    musician) in the past and the current group could be the one that 
    "goes for it" (i.e. brings the original music into a reality you
    can see in your local record/tape/CD store).  
    
    And I consider myself to be doubly blessed in that I'm getting a 
    "second chance": a number of years ago, a group I worked with blew 
    an opportunity for a contract with Columbia records; to think that
    I/we might get another shot at the brass ring is almost more than
    I can handle.
    
    Steve
    

Electronics Engineer ... Oops, I'm doing that already.

I too would like to go back to what I did before DEC, and that was to teach
music... especially private voice and piano instruction.

I'm gonna make my dream come true, one of these years!  :-)

    ^  A rock star

       I like to visit all the beautiful and exotic places around
       the world and review/critique them for others.
    
    ^  More in line with reality - My brother's SO is a Public 
       Relations Manager with the Charles Hotel in Boston.  She
       meets dignitaries, celebrities, politicians, etc. and
       gets invited to loads of fun things as a representative
       of the hotel.  I'd love that job!!!
    
    Dorothy

	I originally got into computers to do computer animation.
    Back in 1980 I was out in Hollywood working in the film industry,
    but I wasn't quite able to break into the computer animation end
    of the business.

	Since then I went back to school for more brain fodder
    and ended-up out here in Massachusetts working at DEC, married,
    with one young child, and slightly less mobile than before.
    I'm still dreaming about making animated movies with a computer
    though...

    I would love to be a caterer of small specialty parties, like bridal
    showers, elagant dinner parties and affairs like that, also have
    a food show on TV showing how to prepare gourmet foods, or maybe
    own and operate a shop that sells kitchen gadgets and gourmet utensils.

    
    a guitarist. a poet and songwriter. a bard who could raise social
    awareness and yet entertain...ie. Tracy Chapman.
    
    or an athletics coach for the deaf, soccer, baseball, basketball.....
    
    oh but what we sometimes do for the need of money.
     

    I'd LOVE to be own a highly successful advertising agency, as well
    as do seminars professionally.  I also would enjoy going back into
    catering and owning my own toy store again (anyplace but Utah--no
    money here.).

1.  Member of the US Olympic Volleyball Team  (This is the standout one.)

2.  Professional athlete

3.  Something in Space Exploration

4.  A writer

5.  A singer/musician


There's probably more, but that's enough of a variety for you to get the idea!
